Nicknamed "Soupy" for obvious reasons, Bruce Campbell, who played outfield for five different teams over a 13-year career.  His signature on this 1940 Play Ball card has been graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA, applied with fiber-tip marker and almost certainly obtained through the mail rather than in person, as the bulk of this collection includes signatures applied in fountain pen or ballpoint.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.
